Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are the latest installments in the popular Pokémon franchise, and they have been met with — well, disappointment, and excitement from fans. The games introduce a host of new features and mechanics, as well as an entirely new region to explore.
One of the most notable additions in Scarlet and Violet is the inclusion of the Terastal phenomenon.
We’ve been through Mega Evolutions, Z-Moves, Dynamax Pokémon, and now we have Terastallization — a crystal-like addition to a Pokémon’s appearance that has the power to change its type. This adds a new layer of strategy to the game and provides players with even more options for team building and battling.
Another exciting feature of the games is the new region of Paldea, which is inspired by Spain. The new region contains unique open-world environments, including deserts, winter mountains, and even a bustling city. This new setting adds a fresh and exciting feel to the game and provides players with plenty of new places to explore and discover.
The graphics in Scarlet and Violet are quite controversial. There is a good and/or a bad element to it compared with previous games in the series. It’s hard to deny the massive amount of bugs found in this game, which are a disappointment compared to its predecessor, Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

Nevertheless, the characters, Pokémon, and environments are all beautifully rendered, and the colors are vibrant and eye-catching. The open-world format, in particular, is a visual feast and provides an impressive showcase of the power of the Nintendo Switch hardware.
Overall, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are a welcome addition to the franchise and provide fans with plenty of new content to enjoy. The new features and mechanics add depth and strategy to the gameplay, and the beautiful graphics and new region provide a fresh and exciting experience. Whether you are a long-time fan of the series or a newcomer to the world of Pokémon, these games are well worth checking out.
